Ok, am seriously suffering from brain-numbing revision boredom. Can't remember how to differentiate this:

p = 654 / (456q^2)

Any help would be great! Thanks

Clue:

p = 654/456 x q^-2

[Terry Acky]

bring that bottom up to the top which makes it q^-2 then take it from there, times the 654 by -2 then lower the power to -3.

-1308/456 * q^-3

Ok, you have to understand I'm having serious brain numb here.

When I bring the bottom up top, do I multiply 654 and 456 so it ends up as 298224q^-2 and then just differentiate that (which I'm capable of lol)?

[The Financial Astrologer]

p = 654 / (456q^2)

p = 654/456 * 1/q^2
p = 109/76 * q^-2

Bring the power down, then decrease the power by one.

p = -109/38 * q^-3

Therefore

Final Ans: -109/(38 *q^3)

No u dont, look at my explantion above. Take it as to fractions being multiplied together.

[Fzara]

p= 654/ 456q^2

p= (654q^-2/456)

p= -2(645)q^-3/456

There, hope that helped!

OK, got it!! Thanks very much for al your help! I knew I could rely on TSR to give me the answer
